_Travelling in 1590.--Richard Hooker._--Could any of your readers give
me some particulars of travelling at the above period between London and
Salisbury? I should also feel greatly indebted for any _unpublished_
particulars in the life of the "Judicious Richard Hooker" after his
marriage. Answers might be sent, either through "NOTES AND QUERIES," or
direct to me,

_Decker's Raven's Almanack--Nash's Terrors of the Night, &c._--Having
lately picked up a volume of old tracts, I am anxious to learn how far I
may congratulate myself on having met with a prize. Among the contents
are--
1. "The Rauen's Almanacke," for the year 1609, purporting to be by T.
Deckers. Is this the same person with Thomas Dekker the dramatist?
2. Nashe's "Terrors of the Night" (wanting eight leaves at the
beginning.) Of this, Beloe (the only authority within my reach) says,
that only one copy is known to exist; can his statement be correct?
3. A religious tract, which seems only remarkable for its bad printing,
obscure wording, and almost invariably using the third person singular
of the verb, whatever be the nominative. It begins--
"To all you who profess the name of our Lord Jesus in words, and
makes mention of his words, &c."....
